Adobe InCopy CS4 for Mac

Make collaborative editing easier and more convenient with Adobe InCopy CS4. A professional writing and editing workflow program, Adobe InCopy CS4 offers tight integration with Adobe InDesign CS4 enhanced collaboration between design and editorial teams. For efficient content delivery both in print and digitally, and collaboration in person or online, Adobe InCopy CS4 is an essential tool.

Deliver content to multiple channels - Efficiently deliver content that supports both print and digital publications, and simplify the process of creating unique content for different audiences. A new panel enables easy hyperlink creation, and you can export files to Adobe PDF for print or web viewing.

Tight integration with Adobe InDesign CS4 - Benefit from a parallel workflow in which local and remote writers, editors and designers can simultaneously work on a single InDesign document without overwriting each other's contributions.

Conditional text--one file, multiple versions (new for CS4) - Quickly deliver multiple versions of a document from a single Adobe InCopy CS4 file. Build student/teacher textbook editions, multi-language publications and more by creating conditions and applying them to text to hide content without using layers.

Flexible page views--View pages in a choice of three formats to work in the way most suited to your current task. Galley View displays 100% accurate line breaks, Story View enables faster word processing, and Layout View lets you edit text in relation to the design. Invoke multiple views of different documents in a single uncluttered window, tab through open documents to find the one you need and quickly switch between task-based workspaces.

View copyfit information as you work - Constant visual feedback informs you of space remaining, if you have gone over your space limit (and if so, how far), plus story depth and line, word and character counts.

Powerful tools for editorial productivity - Work more efficiently with the redesigned Links panel for easy management of all placed files, paragraph and character styles to ensure typographical consistency, the ability to easily resolve style conflicts in imported Microsoft Word documents and more.

Intelligent cross-document collaborative editing tracking (new for CS4) - Easily track text changes across your entire InCopy CS4 document, including tables. Hide, show, navigate and accept or reject changes, and store annotations (alternate text, writer-editor communications etc.) in notes tied to specific positions in a story or table cells.

Work cross-platform online with Adobe ConnectNow (new for CS4) - Share your screen and collaborate in real time with team members regardless of their locations with Adobe ConnectNow. Work across platforms and invite up to two online guests at a time by accessing this web-based service through InCopy.

Professional typography - Apply a wide range of precise typographic adjustments such as leading, letter spacing, and paragraph spacing, use OpenType fonts and Unicode character encoding, and easily insert glyphs using the Glyphs panel.

Support for spread rotation and single-page spread creation(new for CS4) - Easily edit content that appears in non-horizontal alignment thanks to support for rotation of spreads in 90-degree increments. Spread rotation established in InDesign CS4 is maintained in InCopy CS4. Create documents that include single-page spreads for greater time savings and more flexibility when composing and editing content.
